1847 Derbent uprising

The 1847 Derbent uprising was a failed uprising launched by the Sunni Muslim Dagestanis of Derbent against the Russian Empire in September 1847, launched with the goal of achieving independence. The Okhrana secret police discovered plans for a Dagestani insurgency through informants and double agents, and the Imperial Russian Army was sent in to crush the revolt. 504 Dagestanis were killed in the quelling of the uprising, and the people of Derbent became more militantly opposed to Russian rule.
